No one wants a woke mouse in their house

I have never understood businesses that intentionally engage in partisan politics to the point that they effectively attack half of their potential customers. I spent my life in business, and this idea never occurred to me. It must be some kind of new woke business theory, but it makes no sense. That’s why I just cannot understand what the Walt Disney Company is doing.

Disney used to be the happiest place on Earth, now it’s just woke central. It’s on the losing side of an issue that the majority of families, regardless of political ideology, agree with. In many ways, that makes Disney’s decisions even more confusing. I talk to families and have heard this straight from them. But if you want numbers, the polling shows that fewer than 25% of Americans share the extreme views that Disney has endorsed. That makes sense — Disney is mad that Florida will not allow teachers to talk to 5-year-olds about sex. Florida families couldn’t disagree more.

Godspeed Gov D-ConSantis in ridding Florida of the Chinese rodent.

Here’s what I think is going on, in general. There’s a company meeting, with 10 people sitting around a big table. A woke lunatic proposes a terrible idea. A second woke lunatic at the table agrees with the first woke lunatic.

Now, the other eight people at the table are appalled by the idea. But they’re afraid to speak up - they don’t want to be called a racist, a homophobe, or whatever.

So that terrible idea becomes company policy.

Agreed.

I would think shareholders would sue them for shirking their fiscal responsibilities

Speaking of this...has anyone heard how Twix has fared since their woke Halloween commercial?

I would add that at least one of the two is an Ivy League psychologist to provide a false degree of gravitas to their lunacy.

Governor “D-Con”? What sort of auto-correct is that? Do you have a lot of bugs and rodents in your house?

[momincombatboots]

Not everyone is a city person. Decon.. job done.
